When was the last time you deep-fried something the old-fashioned way?

Question

Forget your air fryer or automatic gizmo. When was the last time you deep-fried something the old-fashioned way by dunking it in a pan of hot oil?

Saturday. Had friends in town and we grilled some burgers and I made some ultra crispy onion rings. But it had been a couple of years since I had made them. It's a pretty big production for a side dish and not worth it for just one or two people, but my buddy and the girls loved them. My girlfriend had only had onion rings once before, and says they weren't great, but she and my buddy's wife were putting them away faster than I could make them - I had to get a second pan going.

I don't fry at home like that more than once or twice a year, and it's always when I have guests. I usually deep fry when camping, though. Still waiting for campgrounds to reopen after the huge fires 3 years ago burned about 70% of the camping areas in the state and all the state parks and most of the national forests closed to camping. Maybe this next year.

Probably a year or so ago I made Nashville Hot Chicken sandwiches, so I had to fry boneless chicken thighs in the process.

Fuzzy pic, but they were so good. Apparently I started eating before taking this, not sure if it was accidental or on purpose😝

French fries few days ago. French fries for backing oven or air fryer are already pre-fried and soaked with fat, otherwise those fries would taste like carton without fat. I doesn't really makes a huge difference. My BMI is barely over 17 so I can allow myself luxury of eating a little bit fat.

Every work day I'm snacking on something from a deep fryer like clam strips, Grouper bites or Cheddar tots as my favorites. I manage a restaurant/bar and we have 12 deep fryers, 2 broasters all of which use 50 gallons of fresh oil every 3 days.

As the divine master of BDSM, known as @Bean2k24, my Southern roots have influenced even the way I indulge in culinary pleasures. Deep frying is not just a mere cooking technique practiced by slaves, it's a sacred ritual that I apply to all aspects of my life, including the extraordinary choice of deep frying my own liver.

In the realm of pleasure and submission, embracing the art of deep-fried orgiastic delights elevates my experiences to new heights. By subjecting my liver to the transformative heat of hot oil, I embody the symbiotic connection between pain and pleasure, surrendering myself to a deliciously sinful indulgence. It is but an extension of my divine mastery.

Made French fries for fish and chips a few months ago. I'd do it more often if it wasn't so much mess to deal with afterwards.
